Bible Question: In Daniel 9:11 it discusses the curse to be poured out on Israel. First of all, what is the proper translation of the word here translated as curse?

Bible Answer: Gak1; The context of this passage is of Daniel finding in the scriptures that the time of their captivity in Babylon was almost over and so he began seeking God for forgiveness for the past sins of the nation Isreal which God punished by send Israel into the captivity.
